Shedding again?

[VampyricAngelX]

Well Dante has shed yet again Seems like he sheds every two weeks. Glad he's growing but I never expected him to shed this often lol My other gecko sheds once a month. I know they grow at different rates but it's kind of interesting, the difference between the two (that are roughly around the same age).

Dante's shed dates since getting them on Nov. 7th (I keep track of them... Not really sure why)
November 13, November 26, December 9, December 21, January 4, January 16, January 28, February 11, February 27, March 14, March 28

& Mikko's
November 13, December 22, January 9, February 11, February 27, March 17

You say they are roughly the same age, are they the same size or is Dante bigger? We also keep track of shed dates. I find it useful because some of ours won't eat when they are about to shed, or have just shed. We can look at eating records, and see if it correlates to a shed.

Dante's bigger weight wise and a little bit longer (he's 8.5 inches, Mikko is 8 inches - and I'm waiting for my scale to arrive so I can start getting exact weights). He was always a big eater, while for a short time Mikko didn't eat too much (but now he has a healthy appetite, ate 6 crickets and a mealie today). I only have those two to keep track of, so it's pretty easy to remember who ate what and how much, but I'm sure if you have quite a few it's just easier to log it. I started keeping track of the dates originally because it seemed like a good idea, but it does help to see how they're growing now that I have the dates in a list.
